Fighting one sin with another sin

[abinjoy]

I looking for some pointers.There is something called “we should not fight one sin with another”

What does moral theology say about it ? What is the concept called?
Can any one help?

Uh, maybe

One may never do evil so that good may result from it

The ends don’t justify the means is what is typically said. What I gave was a Catechism quote. Deontology typically holds to this. Deontology is like a school of moral thought.

This would be the fonts of morality. You can find this in the Catechism: Part 3, Section 1, Chapter 1, Article 4-- The Morality Of Human Acts.

One may never do evil, even in the pursuit of good.
